Friends: 16 |  New World Record Challenge: over 50km/L(117mpg) tank Hi all, The current record holder, Hata_Hata@Tokyo, is challenging new record, over 50km/L(117mpg) tank. He is now 50.4km/L (118.6mpg) after 2800km (1740miles) driving a tank. His target is over 50km/L and 3000km (1864miles). Please note that Japanese Prius fuel tank has no bladder and can hold more than 60 liters, 15.9 US gallons. Maybe, North American drivers feel some jealous about the distance because of the tank size. However, the over 50km/L (117mpg) tank challenge is remarkable, I believe. Please join us to support his rest of 200km challenge finishing 3000km driving. Ken@Japan edit: final numbers MFD display FE: 50.2km/L (118.1mpg or 1.99L/100km) distance: 3040.1km (1889.4miles) fuel refill: 60.16L (15.89 US gallons) calculated FE: 50.53km/L (118.9mpg or 1.98L/100km)  Last edited by ken1784; 07-16-2010 at 08:17 AM. Reason: add the final numbers |

Friends: 25 | Re: New World Record Challenge: over 50km/L(117mpg) tank This is awesome! It looks like the Prius is topping out at around the 115MPG mark even when using plug in conversions. My best is 116.7MPGe Cant wait to see the final numbers. |
